"A comeback for sales of fine art"

A former Andy Warhol employee received this self-portrait in lieu of pay when she was working for Warhol in 1967. It's been stashed in a closet ever since. Recently sold at auction for $6 million.

Andy Warhol's painting of 200 One-dollar bills. Recently sold at auction for $43 million
Joan Mitchell's Untitled (catalogued at sothebys.com) Recently sold at auction for $1.1 million.
